Hi there. I'm an experienced full-stack developer seeking some contract work, either one-off or ongoing.
I've built Rails apps for 12+ years (and have taught Rails at college) and am equally at home on the front-end. My most recent work is as the lead developer of an event ticket sales platform that processes millions in sales annually. I was also the lead on an aviation maintenance web app. If you work with HTML email you might also have used my Premailer project from long ago.
On the front-end I've worked with React / React Native / Redux / Typescript, including reaching the holy grail of sharing all the core logic between a mobile and web app in a single code base.
Previously I worked in tourism marketing, so I also have a strong appreciation for keeping focus on ROI and clear communication.
I haven't had much time for open source recently, but I'm happy to give you a tour of some private repos so you can see my work.
------
On the server: Rails / Sorbet, Ansible, Terraform, nginx, MySQL, Postgres, Redis, PHP / WordPress
Client-side: Javascript / ES6, Typescript, React, React Native, Redux, Jest, CSS/SASS, Coffeescript, SVG, websockets, offline web apps
Does this exist? As someone in the midst of some major career changes I’ve been wishing for a “career coach” sort of role. Someone to help with both compensation, but also to advice on which roles to take now to set myself up for my most desired roles in the future.
And because their fiduciary duty is for profit and not a sustainable world, their accountability should be even higher.
